quasinormal subgroups have been studied for nearly 80 years. in finite groups, questions concerning them invariably reduce to p-groups, and here they have the added interest of being invariant under projectivities, unlike normal subgroups. however, it has been shown recently that certain groups, constructed by berger and gross in 1982, of an important universal nature with regard to the existen...

Introduction. A p-divisible group X can be seen as a tower of building blocks, each of which is isomorphic to the same finite group scheme X[p]. Clearly, if X1 and X2 are isomorphic then X1[p] ∼= X2[p]; however, conversely X1[p] ∼= X2[p] does in general not imply that X1 and X2 are isomorphic. Can we give, over an algebraically closed field in characteristic p, a condition on the p-kernels whic...

Herrlich showed that a Mumford curve of genus g > 1 over the p-adic complex field Cp has at most 48(g− 1), 24(g− 1), 30(g− 1) or 12(g− 1) automorphisms as p = 2, 3, 5 or p > 5. The Mumford curves attaining these bounds are uniformised by normal subgroups of finite index in certain p-adic triangle groups ∆p for p ≤ 5, or in a p-adic quadrangle group p for p > 5. The finite groups attaining these...

It is an open problem if an elementary p-group of rank k ≥ 3 does admit full-rank normalized factorization into two of its subsets such that one of the factors has p elements. The paper provides an answer in the p ≤ 7 special case.

‎let $g$ be a finite $p$-group and $n$ be a normal subgroup of $g$ with‎ ‎$|n|=p^n$ and $|g/n|=p^m$‎. ‎a result of ellis (1998) shows‎ ‎that the order of the schur multiplier of such a pair $(g,n)$ of finite $p$-groups is bounded‎ ‎by $ p^{frac{1}{2}n(2m+n-1)}$ and hence it is equal to $‎ ‎p^{frac{1}{2}n(2m+n-1)-t}$ for some non-negative integer $t$‎. ‎recently‎, ‎the authors have characterized...
